And waste my vote in a de-facto two party, first-past-the-post system, thereby accelerating the downfall of democracy? No, thank you. They might both be pieces of shit, but one is significantly less so than the other.

The democrats are blue fascists and the republicans are red fascists. They are both fascists. They are both anti-democracy. Or do you think that people voted for genocide?

Calling them fascists is a little far-fetched. Do you have evidence to back up that claim? Linking a screenshot does not prove your point, it’s just more rhetoric. Yes, we have reached that point, because it’s a first-past-the-post system. We need to increase political engagement rather than stoking political apathy. We are in the mess that we are because less than 50% people vote in the first place.

Evidence that the democratic party is funding a genocide? Seriously?

No we are in this mess because both parties are the party of money and only care about their billionaires lobbyists.

We need to increase political engagement rather than stoking political apathy.

I literally told them to vote socialist!! It is not political apathy just because the option is not a blue MAGA.

No they were asking for evidence that democrats are fascist.

[–] Confidant6198@lemmy.ml -3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

They are literally funding doing a genocide. Using police force to beat to a pulp and kill student protestors and banning media speaking against the genocide.

Okay but how does that make democrats fascist? It's just Americas unwavering zionistic stance as a whole.
